    A large part of a doctor's job is measurement and observation--doctors can't make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans without an accurate picture of your body's condition. The same philosophy goes for personal finance. You have to have a sustainable, organized record-keeping system in place before you can plan for the future. That's the thinking behind Quicken 2000: The Official Guide, which shows you how to use the Windows version of Quicken 2000 to organize your accounts. Maria Langer--an experienced communicator who has written several highly regarded software books--documents Quicken 2000 with level-headed descriptions of real-world money situations. If Quicken can handle your personal accounting needs (and it probably can), you'll find the how-to data you need here.

Langer competently explains the fundamentals of computerized personal finance (including bank accounts and loans) and goes into great depth on using Quicken to record investment transactions. Explanations of reporting, graphing, and Quicken's "Easy Answer" feature are simple to follow. In addition to the straight software information, this book includes some solid personal finance advice you can use to reduce your debt, cut your expenses, and improve the performance of your investments. Locating the details you want can be a bit of a challenge because of Quicken's intricate structure, but you'll be happy with the explanations you find here. --David Wall

Topics covered: All aspects of personal finance (as assisted by Quicken 2000 for Windows), setting up the program (the parts that reside on your computer as well as those that live on the Internet), recording transactions, setting up recurring transactions, recording and analyzing investment activity, generating tables and graphs, using Quicken.com, and improving your financial situation....

    Quicken is the #1 personal finance software with a user base of more than 10.5 million. The majority of current users will upgrade tot he new version, and millions of new cases are expected. The ONLY intuit authorized guide to Quicken--all Quicken users will want to have this definitive resource....

    Mastering Quicken 99 shows you how to use the latest version of the most popular personal-finance program on the market. It's a sort of super-manual that thoroughly explains how to use every single feature of Quicken 99.

Like the program itself, this book focuses on "registers" for checking accounts, consumer loans, assets, and credit cards. Nelson explains how to set up and maintain these accounts, and then shows how to convert their contents to tax-form entries at the end of the year.

If you want to learn how to store options transactions--something Quicken can do if you follow a special procedure--Mastering Quicken 99 can't tell you what you need to know. However, there's a solid amount of information in these pages about using Quicken to track business finances, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll (but most people who need to track business finances do so with a different program).

Coverage of securities transactions is good, but somewhat narrowly focused. If you want to know how to record stock, bond, and mutual fund transactions, this book has the information you need. It also explains obscure transactions--like capital-gains distributions from mutual funds--in some detail. --David Wall...

    Delivering 250 more pages than any other Quicken book, here is the most comprehensive book that goes way beyond the basic coverage. What will you learn in those extra 250 pages? Learn to track investments, use Quicken in a small business, do online banking, connect to the Internet with Quicken, and take advantage of Quicken Financial Network (one of the top 50 websites!). Plus you will get expert financial tips and a glossary of financial terms. This book is the complete guide to getting the most out of Quicken. ...
